On this page, we’ll discuss the benefits of hiring a PFAS Water Contamination Lawyer, the current efforts to file lawsuits for health risks related to PFAS contamination in local water supplies, how forever chemicals enter drinking water systems, and much more.
The contamination of drinking water with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals) is a persistent and growing environmental, health, and legal issue that has impacted the country for over two decades.
The widespread presence of PFAS in drinking water sources has raised serious concerns about long-term health impacts and has driven increased regulatory scrutiny.
As communities grapple with the threat of PFAS contamination, efforts are underway to address and mitigate the risks associated with these “forever chemicals” through improved water treatment and stricter environmental regulations.
Lawyers are currently investigating the potential for legal action against PFAS manufacturers for health impacts of forever chemicals.
Numerous regulatory changes have been implemented, but the damage has already been done for many victims.
For those exposed to PFAS chemicals and who have developed health issues, taking legal action is a way to seek justice and hold manufacturers accountable for their negligence.
At TorHoerman Law, we help victims seek compensation and justice for health conditions caused by drinking PFAS contaminated water and being exposed to PFAS-containing products.
If you or a loved one were exposed to PFAS and developed cancer or other related health issues, you may be eligible to file a PFAS Lawsuit and seek compensation.

Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products since the 1950s.
PFAS compounds are known for their resistance to heat, water, and oil, which has led to their widespread use and persistence in the environment.
PFAS are infamously called “forever chemicals” because these toxic chemicals do not break down easily and can accumulate over time in the environment and human and animal bodies.
With enough exposure, these harmful chemicals can cause potentially fatal health conditions and irreparable environmental damage.
Recent studies have detected PFAS in the blood and tissue of more than 95% of Americans.
PFAS are characterized by their unique chemical structure, which includes a chain of carbon atoms fully or partially bonded to fluorine atoms.
This structure gives PFAS its distinctive properties.
The properties of PFAS include:
The widespread use of PFAS has led to widespread environmental contamination and human exposure, raising significant health concerns.
PFAS can accumulate in the human body over time and have been detected in the blood serum of military personnel and civilians living near PFAS makers or military bases.
A surprising portion of the general public is somewhat exposed to PFAS because of their widespread application.
Health issues known to stem from PFAS pollution can include:
PFAS contamination occurs through various pathways, often originating from industrial and consumer product use.
Causes and pathways of PFAS contamination can include:
With its vast application during the late 90s and promising, unique properties, the forever chemicals are everywhere, hiding in plain sight.
Individuals and various government and private entities have filed lawsuits against major PFAS manufacturers, such as 3M, DuPont, Tyco Fire Products, and other chemical companies for producing and distributing PFAS products.
While the influx of legal cases pertaining to PFAS water contamination only gained traction within the past few years, chemical and medical experts were already warning about the dangers of PFAS as early as the 1970s.
However, the lack of strict regulations allowed manufacturers to produce and distribute PFAS-containing products without proper oversight.
Fatal health problems and environmental effects of PFAS may take years to surface and pinpoint, leaving communities and individuals with little options recourse until recently.
A popular lawsuit related to PFAS contamination is a multidistrict litigation (MDL) against aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) manufacturers.
This foam has been commonly used in firefighting and in the military, and has been identified as a significant source of PFAS contamination in groundwater and surface water.
The AFFF MDL is currently active and is consolidated in the United States District Court of South Carolina.
Individuals who have filed claims the AFFF Lawsuit include military personnel, airport workers, municipal firefighters, and others who have been exposed to PFAS-containing firefighting foam and suffered health problems.
Because of the similar nature of these lawsuits, the outcome of AFFF MDL could influence how PFAS contamination cases are handled in the future.
Victims who have suffered illness due to PFAS pollution exposure have the right to seek legal action against responsible parties.
The process can be complex, involving numerous legal, scientific, and procedural steps.
Ways that victims can pursue justice and compensation can include:
This structure follows the standard timeline of most personal injury cases.
PFAS water contamination lawyers are essential advocates for individuals and communities affected by PFAS pollution.
An experienced PFAS Lawyer can help victims understand their rights and potential for seeking compensation.

Our team of lawyers can help victims assess the extent of PFAS contamination and its impact.
They can also help determine the applicable laws and devise a suitable legal strategy for an adequate outcome.
PFAS contamination lawyers are instrumental in initiating legal actions against responsible parties.
Lawyers specializing in PFAS cases can help plaintiffs file legal cases against manufacturers, industrial facilities, and other entities responsible for PFAS pollution.
PFAS attorneys can prepare detailed legal complaints that outline the nature of the contamination, its impacts, and the legal basis for the claims.
If applicable, PFAS attorneys can also help individual plaintiffs join an MDL or coordinate with other attorneys to form a consolidated lawsuit.
PFAS water contamination lawyers often play a key role in negotiating settlements with PFAS manufacturers and other responsible parties.
Experienced lawyers are compelling negotiators, and they will do their best to ensure you end up with a favorable outcome.
PFAS attorneys will assess the adequacy of settlement offers in light of the damages suffered by clients.
They will consider factors such as medical expenses, property damage, loss of income, and long-term health impacts.
The ultimate goal of PFAS water contamination lawyers is to secure justice and compensation for their clients.
Lawyers work tirelessly to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions and seek fair compensation on behalf of victims.
This includes seeking financial compensation for medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and other damages resulting from PFAS contamination.
Attorneys may also pursue punitive damages in cases where defendants acted with gross negligence or intent to harm.
Dealing with the aftermath of PFAS contamination can be overwhelming and emotionally taxing.
A PFAS water contamination lawyer can help ease some of that burden by handling all legal matters on your behalf.
An experienced PFAS lawyer will handle all the groundwork, allowing you to focus on your health and well-being.
They will also keep you updated throughout the legal process and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Various government agencies and environmental organizations are taking action to halt PFAS pollution and protect public health.
Since the early 2020s and late 2010s, various states and countries have placed an effective ban on PFAS-derivative products or PFAS manufacturing as a whole to protect public health.
In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) are leading the PFAS testing efforts to identify contaminated sites and assess the risks of PFAS exposure.
In April 2024, the EPA published the first-ever national standard for PFAS in drinking water.
The final approval of the rule regulates the maximum allowable limit of the six most common types of PFAS in drinking water.
As the PFAS water contamination lawsuit progresses, we can expect more regulatory changes to come and, hopefully, stricter guidelines to prevent further contamination and protect public health.
If you’ve developed a critical health condition due to PFAS water contamination or have a loved one seriously impacted by PFAS pollution, we can help you seek legal recourse.
At TorHoerman Law, we understand how challenging it can be to deal with the aftermath of PFAS contamination.
Contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your case and learn more about your legal options.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals known as “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment.
These substances have been widely used in consumer products like food packaging and firefighting foam, leading to widespread PFAS contamination in drinking water.
The concern is that high concentrations of PFAS in tap water can pose serious health risks, including kidney cancer, thyroid disease, and developmental delays.
A PFAS water contamination lawyer specializes in addressing the legal implications of PFAS exposure.
They can help you through the process of filing lawsuits against chemical companies or manufacturers responsible for PFAS pollution.
By assessing the extent of PFAS contamination in your water, identifying responsible parties, and advocating for fair compensation, these lawyers play a crucial role in seeking justice for affected individuals and communities.
PFAS exposure has been linked to several serious health issues, including certain cancers like kidney cancer and testicular cancer.
PFAS chemicals can disrupt hormone function, leading to thyroid disease and decreased fertility.
Scientific studies have also indicated that high levels of PFAS can cause developmental delays in children and other health impacts, making it critical to address PFAS contamination promptly.
If you suspect PFAS contamination in your water, the first step is to have your water tested by a certified laboratory to confirm the presence and levels of PFAS chemicals.
Once PFAS is detected, you should consult a PFAS water contamination lawyer to explore your legal options.
Consider using alternative water sources, such as bottled water or a water filtration system designed to remove PFAS, to reduce your exposure.
The EPA released new guidelines for PFAS levels in drinking water, with the final approval of regulations aimed at protecting public health.
These regulations establish federal limits for the most common PFAS chemicals, such as PFOA and PFOS, to ensure safer drinking water standards.
Continued progress in PFAS testing and stricter controls on PFAS manufacturing and disposal are expected to further address the PFAS problem and mitigate its environmental risks.
